1. Acknowledgment

   In the creative arts and scientific literature, an acknowledgment is an expression of gratitude for assistance in creating an original work. Receiving credit by way of acknowledgment rather than authorship indicates that the person or organization did not have a direct hand in producing the work in question, but may have contributed funding, criticism, or encouragement to the author. Various schemes exist for classifying acknowledgments; Cronin et. al give the following six categories: ⁕moral support ⁕financial support ⁕editorial support ⁕presentational support ⁕instrumental/technical support ⁕conceptual support, or peer interactive communication Apart from citation, which is not usually considered to be an acknowledgment, acknowledgment of conceptual support is widely considered to be the most important for identifying intellectual debt. Some acknowledgments of financial support, on the other hand, may simply be legal formalities imposed by the granting institution. There have been some attempts to extract bibliometric indices from the acknowledgments section of research papers in order to evaluate the impact of the acknowledged individuals, sponsors and funding agencies.
